The world number two, who has also won the World Championship and three World Series of Darts trophies in this calendar year – as well as a UK Open Qualifier in February – added to his collection of titles with a 6-5 victory in the decider against Jenkins.

Anderson landed four of the final’s nine 180s – including one in the deciding leg – but was made to work hard for the £10,000 winner’s cheque by a tenacious Jenkins, who enjoyed his best run of the year so far.

Double World Champion Anderson started off with a whitewash win over Paul Milford before picking up victories against Devon Petersen and Jason Wilson.

The Scottish star then defeated in-form Austrian Mensur Suljovic in a deciding leg to reach the quarter-finals, where he saw off Daryl Gurney with a 6-3 success.

He then thumped Welshman Jonny Clayton 6-0 to book his place in the final before edging past Jenkins for victory.
